April March (real name Elinor Blake, born in California, April 20, 1965) has had one of the more interesting dual careers, as a cartoon animator (including a stint as a principal animator for the Ren and Stimpy show) and as an indie pop singer/songwriter, more popular in France than in Brooklyn, where she was raised, or in her current home of Ohio. She is married to Warren Zanes, musician and Vice-President of Education at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, in Cleveland, Ohio. As a child, March became fascinated with France, and jumped at the opportunity to participate in an exchange program in France in junior high. Today, her albums tend to contain songs in both English and French, which draw heavily on themes and styles from French 1960s pop music.

Beginning in the early 1980s, March worked as an animator for Archie Comics and Pee Wee's Playhouse; in 1986 she worked on the Madonna feature Who's That Girl, animating the star in the title sequence and the contemporaneous music video. Her first band, The Pussywillows, was formed in 1987, although their existence was interrupted for a year while March attended the one-year Disney Character Animation program in California. In 1991, the Pussywillows broke up, and March formed The Shitbirds, which lasted until 1995. Since then, March has recorded as a solo artist.
